"Bogey Music" is a song by the English musician and former Beatles bassist and vocalist Paul McCartney.
The song got a unofficial sequel that saw a release on the McCartney II Archive Collection.
Origin[edit]
The song was made for a film adaptation of Fungus the Bogeyman, but the film never saw a release.[1]
Style[edit]
According to Vincent P. Benitez Jr., the song sounds very similar to Elvis Presley in its overall style.[2]
Inspiration[edit]
According to McCartney in the book The Dream is Over: Off The Record 2, "There’s a book called Fungus The Bogeyman, for kids and grown-ups, too, which was sent to me by some fellow who’s making it into a film and who wanted me to do some music in it. The story is a bit strange, and the basic idea is that the bogeymen are people who make bumps in the night. They live beneath the ground and come out at night and frighten people and they like everything that is opposite to what we like. If we like warm dry clothes, they like wet slimy ones. And they’ve got all sorts of crazy books in their library, like Lady Chatterley’s Bogey. It’s just a great book, but it’s crazy and it just tickled my fancy when I got it. Anyway, I had that book in the studio one day and opened it to a page where the young people in Bogeyland rebel against the old people who hate music. They all start to get dressed in warm clean clothes and then they start to actually take baths, which is unheard of, and get into rock ‘n ‘roll. So I just look that page, looked at it a bit, and just thought, ‘Well, it looks like a bit of rock’n”roll.’ So I made up the track and called it ‘Bogey Music’, It’s a crazy fantasy, really, but that’s what I was thinking of when I did it."[3]
Recording[edit]
Ted Montgomery said that a "Nice galloping drums and bass part propels this silly little exercise, with lots of echo-y vocals. Voice manipulation gives the song a kind of funereal aura. A simple electric guitar riff plays throughout."[4]
Reception[edit]
Ian Peel said that "'Bogey Music' sounded any different from a Wings demo reel by ploughing the entire vocal track through a reverb unit – another of McCartney's new electronic purchases."[5]
Personnel[edit]
